"I paid $550 to have a cleaning service contract for 4 cleanings. They never showed up. I called numerous times to try to schedule a cleaning and they finally stopped" ...More answering my calls. I tried to contact them via a registered letter, but they would not pick it up from the post office after they tried to deliver. Finally I called the Better Business Bureau of South Florida to see if I could get some action, but they refused to respond to the BBB. Beware everyone, they are dishonest and should not be hired to do any work.

Angie's Answers

Any time you're dealing with repairing or installing natural gas supply lines, I would definitely recommend hiring a plumber who has experience installing gas line plumbing. You can find local plumbers and look at their specialities on www.AngiesList.com (use the coupon code ANSWERS to get a 20% discount on a 1-year memership if you're not yet a member). The Yellow Pages are OK, but all they have is names and numbers of companies, not verified reviews from real homeowners who actually hired the companies like you'll find on Angie's List.

You have ruled out the truly fancy grills with your price range, but there are a lot of brands for $500 down to $150 with 4-5 burners.

What you want to do, because of the number of choices, if make a list of the characteristics you want, then go to a site that list a lot of them or lests you compare characterisitics, and maybe go to a few stores and look at them.

Then, after you have short-listed it down to maybe 5 or less, look for reviews. Angie's List does not review consumer products, but there are sites that do that, and of course Consumer Reports will have reviews (buy a subscription or go to your library).

Then, compare reviews and prices to decide. Remember to factor in shipping costs, if ordered.

Bear in mind the real economy ones may be made of "stainless", but you can bet most of the cheapest ones from Asia will start rusting fairly soon - if you want true quality "stainless" you are going to be in the mid to higher part of your price range.

If you decide on natural gas and do not currently have a grill using that, count in some plumber cost for a connection - from maybe $150-200 if close by the gas service in your house, can run to $500+ if you are goiing to be running pipe along the outside (or inside) of the house or basement to get to where you want the valve. Be sure to keep kids in mind - small kids love to open valves, so be sure to put it in a locked vented box if that is a concern. Ditto to plastic pipe (if allowed in your area) if you have chewing critters.

For a propane grill, bear in mind the cost of buying (or repeatedly renting) a couple of gas canisters and probably an extension hose.

When figuring where the grill will sit, ASSUME it will catch on fire some time - so for safety put it at least 10 feet from the house, and if the tank ever tips over and catches fire, 25 feet is the "safe" distance. Remember also, frequently using it within less than 20-25 feet will grease and smoke up the side of the house, making it slimy looking, and also requiring a lot more prep work before repainting.

“

I have used him a twice before, and he did a good job for me, so this time around, when he told he me that my grill was going to need new plates and he could order them for me, I felt ok about giving him a deposit of over $500 for the parts. A few weeks later, when I had not heard from him, I called him, and he told me the order had been placed. I ...More few more weeks went by and I had still heard nothing from him, so I have tried multiple times to to call him, and have not been able to get in touch with him at all.”

Excellent service and very professional. Like the name of the company, it was a very affordable repair. I exchanged messages with

called 20 minutes out from the beginning of the 2 hour window saying he was on his way to my house. He worked on the grill for almost an hour and was able to replace some old gaskets and there was a problem with the regulator. I'm very happy that I can now use my grill! Thanks

They were outstanding. They were great to deal with. They were very professional. They were as efficient as they could be under the circumstances. They had a bunch of projects going on and we had some bad weather. Their workmanship was great and the price was far better than any of the other five or six companies I got a quote from. It was a pretty big project, all around.”

Overall it was a very good job. We had to deal with several weather delays and scheduling issues so the build and install took longer than we anticipated. We are very pleased with the final product. The installers were very professional and did a great job. I would recommend this company.”
